The Republic of Albania has a large number of irrigation dams of which 33 were inspected in 2000 – 2001 as part of the Second Irrigation and Drainage Rehabilitation Project. A manual was prepared for the calculation of flood peaks and volumes and detailed proposals were drawn up for remedial works estimated to cost $ 6.0 million. A simple prioritisation system was developed to allow the total cost of the works to be kept within the available budget of $ 4.5 million.
